What is 2D design?

2D design refers to the creation of visual artwork and graphics on a flat, two-dimensional surface. It includes elements such as illustrations, logos, posters, layouts, and other visual compositions that do not have depth or a third dimension. 2D designers use tools like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, or traditional drawing techniques to bring ideas to life for print, digital media, advertising, and more. The focus is on color, shape, typography, and composition to effectively communicate a message or concept.
